itt: consternation and wailing about Zach Snyder's upcoming SUPERMAN/BATMAN film/sequel to MAN OF STEEL -- official title: BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

Oh, the comedy quote is from Affleck. It does seem like more of an Affleck than a Snyder kind of sentiment. Snyder's sense of humour has more to do with urine.

i hope there is a flashback showing the murder of thomas and martha wayne because i am not sure why bruce wayne chose to become batman

bitten by a radioactive bat iirc

It had something to do with his mother being named Martha iirc?

The smartass iirc twins have an answer for every question, iirc.

i hope we see batman solve a mystery by asking a computer

A batputer, damn it. Come on.

not bad. actually more optimistic about WW

idgi why is she fighting WWI

because Miss Israel fighting WW2 would be too on-the-nose

Haha ok I didnt know that

hahaha wow! that didn't occur to me

started a thread for the wonder woman movie here: By Hera! Come anticipate the WONDER WOMAN movie with me!

kind of a weird decision to feature a wonder woman with only half a face

mannnn if they're gonna go that route, ditch the cape and GIVE US THE MULLET

man if they don't have a "Back in Black" music cue in this I'm going to be so pissed

throw in The Sound of Silence during a batfleck scene and I'll buy a ticket

Why TF have they gone for Cyborg over Martian Manhunter?

Studies show the Green Dollar not as powerful as previously thought.

jon peters will be thrilled to see his dream of a black-suited superman is finally coming true. maybe they can squeeze a robot spider in there somewhere too!

i posted a little while back about all the plot threads this movie will have to pull together, so we can now add the resurrection of superman to

- amazonians
- atlantis
- greek myth
- the fourth world
- introduction of cyborg
- introduction of the flash
- introduction of aquaman
- introduction of steppenwolf

good thing zack snyder has proven himself time and again to be a deft hand with juggling plot elements in a coherent and entertaining way

meanwhile, the flash's costume continues to look really fucking stupid :(

one thing's for sure, though - the black costume will make a startling visual contrast with the bold primary colours featured in snyder's two superman movies to date

He's clearly going for the Sin City aesthetic. All black and white and red rivers of Metropolitan blood.

You hateful people, you all made Brett Ratner sad:

life goal achieved

good job everyone

My question back to Ratner would have been "But isn't it better to be here than to be a Cabinet secretary for Trump like another cofinancier?"

Ratner: People who Rotten Tomatoes are savages

“In Middle America it’s, ‘Oh, it’s a low Rotten Tomatoes score so I’m not going to go see it because it must suck.’ But that number is an aggregate and one that nobody can figure out exactly what it means, and it’s not always correct,” Ratner said.

But people did go see BvS in spite of the shitty RT score, so what is he whining for?

he'd be much better off with the tack that it while critics rightfully said it sucked, millions of people still saw it and enjoyed it anyway so fuck the critics

brett ratner in 'making bad decisions' shocker

damn those culture snobs in Middle America

Did I miss a thing where RT stores became "important"?

*scores*

Bat-salt shakers at the ready, but a new rumor from the DCEU Leaks Eeddit suggests Warner Bros. will be releasing four Batman-related movies in 2019, just in time for the character’s 80th anniversary. Additionally, two animated Batman films are reportedly in development for a 2019 release date—one of which is an adaptation of The Long Halloween.

The plan for 2019 is to release four Batman related films. Gotham City Sirens around Valentine’s Day weekend, Nightwing on Memorial Day weekend, Batgirl in August and The Batman in November. The studio is doing this to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of Batman.

I don't know why they feel that bankrupting a movie studio is the way to celebrate Batman's anniversary, but who am I to judge.

I wonder how many people who don't read comics even know that Nightwing exists.

take this with a pinch of salt, but several sources are saying that the dceu will see up to five americommando movies in 2020 to celebrate the 80th anniversary of beloved character tex thompson's first appearance in print

There should be at least five or six Superman films next year then.

psyched for superman vs zatara, celebrating their shared 80th anniversary

He's basically Dr. Strange in a top hat. I don't see how they could lose.

hollywood still remembers the boffo b.o. that twin peaks: fire walk with me enjoyed thanks to its revolutionary backwards-talking-dwarf scenes and has been searching for years to recapture that lightning in a bottle, so this is a clever strategic move from execs at warners

Oh how I wish I had the ear of a WB exec. 'Our studies show that 18-24 year olds are just crazy about Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man. I'm thinking four movies, all released within the first quarter of 2020.'

if you get the chance pls put in a good word for my proposed matter-eater lad quadrilogy, i've already storyboarded the first movie on hospital scrubs i got out of a dumpster a while back

Now if all four were Lego movies.

I need to see these matter-eater lad roughs, please fax asap

i don't have a fax sorry but i'm gonna go outside and hold them in the air so the google earth satellites can see 'em okay?

lego eater lad on the way in2020

is there some kind of Godwin's Law equivalent re: how long it takes a superhero movie thread until Matter Eater Lad is invoked
